I wonder if you’re like me?
You reach that point in the supermarket where you look at shelves stacked with different oils. You dream of being able to create exotic meals using only the perfect ingredients. And then you confess complete ignorance and drop the usual bottle of non-descript vegetable oil into your trolley?
Well, here’s a little something to help you along the road to sophistication…
I’m not going to give you all the details here but I can tell you of a useful place to find them.
Good oils are difficult to get right: the full flavour, with its quota of vitamins and essential fatty acids can only be achieved by gentle quality production. You’ll want to buy the right type. And then you’ll want to know how to use it: what type of cooking does the oil match? Which foods does it most compliment? How do they keep you healthy?
